JESSE’S INSIDER BLOG: TIME TO GIVE BRAD SOME SLACK

Hey everyone! Jesse Csincsak here.

I’m back again, but this week, I’m not just here to play matchmaker. This week, I’m going to give you my INSIDER opinion about Brad and how I think he is handling himself as “The Bachelor” for the second time around.

Brad took more heat for becoming the Bachelor this season than any guy I have ever seen in the history of the show, but WHY?

Well, people were clearly pissed off that he didn’t pick anybody the first time he was the Bachelor. But c’mon! I don’t think there is anyone out there that hasn’t broken up with someone after dating them for about two months. Is there? And just because Brad did it on national television he is supposed to be held to some higher standard? I think that is LAME.

A lot of people who watch this show are forgetting one thing: Just because it’s on TV doesn’t mean the feelings aren’t real. The feelings in these relationships are no different from what you feel when you meet someone at the grocery store, or at a coffee shop. When Brad didn’t pick anyone on his last season it hurt him just as much as it hurt all the girls. And when all was said and done and he went home and had to deal with his decision.

That’s hard enough to deal with as it is. I don’t think you should be held up to any more scrutiny just because you lived your life on TV.

I think Brad is a great guy who has followed his heart in the past and is continuing to follow it now. I think he shows everyone each week that he does care about these girls and how they feel, but at the end of the day he has to follow his heart.

Being in Brad’s shoes might seem all good, great, and grand but let me tell you, it comes with long hours, a ton of drama and more stress than anyone should have to endure in 3 lifetimes. So the next time you don’t understand why Brad does something, do him a favor and CUT HIM SOME SLACK. He is doing what he thinks and feels is right.

Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, I want to change the tone to something a bit lighter. As usual, everyone knows I love to bring people together, so I have a few more couples I think would be amazing together.

On last night’s show Ashley S. got sent home and cried and cried.

Well, I think I know someone who might be able to bring some sunshine into her life: Jonathan “The Weatherman” Novack, from “Bachelor Pad” and Ali’s season of “The Bachelorette.”

Maybe the Weatherman will get a second chance on “Bachelor Pad 2.” If he does, I hope he can meet up with Ashley S. and bring some clear skies into her future.

Also going home last night was Marissa, the Classy Sports Agent from Florida.

She seems to be so ready to settle down and start a family. Well, I think she would fit just perfectly with the Pro Football player from the 4th season of “The Bachelorette.” That’s right, my buddy Ryan Hoag.

Ryan is also ready to meet Miss Perfect, and if they spent some time together, I think we would see them kicking more than just field goals.

That’s it from me for this week. I’ll see you back here next week at the same time and the same place.
